CENSYa_1828

Gene
CENSYa_1828
Protein
Geranylgeranylglyceryl phosphate synthase
Organism
Cenarchaeum symbiosum (strain A)
Length
247 amino acids
Function
Prenyltransferase that catalyzes the transfer of the geranylgeranyl moiety of geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) to the C3 hydroxyl of sn-glycerol-1-phosphate (G1P). This reaction is the first ether-bond-formation step in the biosynthesis of archaeal membrane lipids.
Similarity
Belongs to the GGGP/HepGP synthase family. Group II subfamily.
Mass
